Diamond Mike Watson
“ The life of an adoptee is like an ancient voyager who searches for the unknown. The stars guided their destiny. They had their sights on the wonders that lay ahead of them. An adoptee travels in the opposite direction. ”
― Michael C. Watson, Adopted Like Me- Chosen to Search for a Birthmother

Kelly DiBenedetto
“ Adoption is a lifelong journey. It means different things to me at different times. Sometimes it is just a part of who I am. Other times it is something I am actively going through. ”
― Kelly DiBenedetto, Adoption Is a Lifelong Journey
